The United States has been, without
doubt, the most prolific Of all countries in
the world in the issue of postage stamps,
having put forth over 500 different yarie-
ties altogether. The number OF distinct
varieties issued by the various govern
ments throughout the world Is variously
estimated, but 5000 would probably cover
the whole Chicago Herald.

BRIGHTEST AND BEST.

Brightest and best OF the Sons Of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the east, the horizon adjoining,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining,
Low lies his head with the beasts OF the stall,
Angels adore him in slumber reclining
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.

Araong the English the mistletoe hough
is always hung over the center Of tho

places herself beneath it has to pay the
